A night at Smel's Cafe

2012-02-05T10:21:00.000-08:00

Just had my dinner at Smel's Cafe. I wouldn't said it's an excellent place for an eating out session with friends, but overall it's above average. Foods are ok and not expensive. A single main course cost you around Rm 18.

If you're looking for a place for yamcha & chit chatting with not-that-expensive nice western foods, this is definitely one of the place to be.

Seventh High School Reunion

2012-01-28T09:14:00.000-08:00

Entering lunar year 2012, it marks the 7th Anniversary of my high school reunion party. As usual we are still going strong for keeping in touch with each other after so many years, at least to held a reunion while celebrating the third day of lunar new year.

....TBC...

Alright now let the food photos fill up this blog post...that was something made by pork intestine

Deep fried crispy squid~

Soup of the day tastes so good - It was cooked with dried long bean according to what the waitress said.

Something 'fishy' =D

I'm not sure what it is but it looks pretty much like tempura.

Ok let's wrap it up...happy birthday to Hang Kok and may all your wishes come true..but sorry no birthday cake for you this time *evil grin*

New Toy

2011-11-11T22:47:00.000-08:00

Weee...showing off my new toy samsung NX11. It's a mirrorless interchangeable lens camera with a integrated APS-C cmos sensor. No more worry about noisy & blurry photos during low light condition.. yay!

People are so fuss over my choice of camera but I don't give a damn! I know what suits my preference best.
NX11 is an excellent camera!

September KL Visit

2011-10-01T08:19:00.000-07:00

It's been almost seven months ago since I was in KL for my degree convocation. So I took the chance to visit friends in KL during my three days weekend off. Firstly, I must thanks Sam for being my 'Ahmad' & MunEe for letting me to overnight in his very tidy and comfortable living room.

Reached KL around 12am and was physically exhausted due to the long & rough bus ride (I should consider driving for next visit). Anyway, I had a great night sleep on the sofa bed indeed.

Was heading to 1U to meet friends and catching up with each other at Tutti frutti. It was my first time having frozen yogurt and I was so surprise about the price..just small amount of yogurt without any topping cost around RM10! O_o ...what can I say?

Looking for some place for dinner with beer after 1U and my friends bring me to Sunway Giza. It was my first time there as well and I think it's a great place to hang out at night.

There are so many dining outlets to choose from. Movida Kitchen, Bar & Club Lounge became our pick for the night. There were nice food, nice beer, nice environment with nice club music, definitely a worth-visiting chill out spot.

Next day, we were having my brunch at LeVain Boulangerie & Patisserie. This bakery is situated in downtown KL where Pavilion is just nearby.

Incidentally, we went to Pavilion Snowflakes to have some dessert. Please note that I was there with several friends but I only have photos with this gorgeous lady Shervyn who was bugging me all the time for taking photo with her...

Yay! it was evening and it's time to feast. Heading to Ampang for some authentic korean food at San Nea Deul Korea Restaurant. The food served was fantastic and the service is superb + reasonable price...I simply couldn't ask for more!. Personally recommend this restaurant to you if you're looking for korean food around Ampang district. We had a great time chatting and laughing while having our dinner. We keep throwing hilarious jokes which make me laugh until I couldn't breath. Really couldn't remember when was the last time I have this LOL session with friends... feel so fricking fun to LOL with them this time.

My friends trick me again. Original plan was heading home but there's extra activities after dinner. They lead me to The Library, Avenue K and gave me a surprise pre-Birthday celebration. It was a unforgettable night...especially the 'firework' candle, I won't forget about it for the rest of my life...Thank you all very much! Let's have the same fun again on coming CNY!

The Most Boring Holidays I ever had!

2011-09-03T22:58:00.000-07:00

Don't you wanna know what have I done during my very rare 9 days off? Of course, you don't. Coz it's my god damn life and I'm neither a celebrity blogger nor Mr. popularity...why should you give a damn about my what have I done during my holidays, right?

Anyway, if you insist and keep reading my post. Let's begin and the photos will tell the story. Apparently I didn't use my off days wisely. I either doing nothing at home or went out yamcha, movie and gathering with friends...that was freaking sienz! I should have gone on some exciting trip or something, but too bad I didn't!

Day 1 - Gathering at Old Town White Coffee

Day 2 - Morning Dimsum at Kee Tek Jia

Day 3 - RedBox Karaoke at night

~~Day 4 - Home~~

Day 5 - Raja Uda Tomyam before movie

Day 5 - Sembang at McD Autocity after movie instead of Overtime..ouch! >.<

~~Day 6 - Home~~

~~Day 7 - Home~~

~~Day 8 - Home~~

~~Day 9 - Home~~

I'm died of Boredom...R.I.P

My first international delivery

2011-08-19T23:56:00.000-07:00

I've always been pretty shopaholic when I was in Uk. Simply because the sales/clearance price is very tempting.

Now ASOS.com offers me the same shopping experience even I'm now in Malaysia, the only difference is it's an online shop. This is the FredPerry barrel bag I've ordered. It took only 10 days for it to delivered to my doorstep. Not to mention it's FREE international delivery. Awesome isn't it?!

The retail price for this bag is 55 pounds(Rm275), and now it's only 31 pounds(Rm155). Alright i'm done, now you simply have to click here www.asos.com to begin your new shopping experience!

The Style Guy

2011-07-25T08:25:00.000-07:00

I've read an article in GQ few months ago and there was one thing that catch my interest. The thing is about 10 commandment of style. Let's get to the main point and ignore the other 9 commandments - " Thou Shalt Put Your Wallet on Diet", which I totally agree with. I hate the bulky feel of a wallet in either the back pocket or front pocket of my slim fit pants. It somehow looks like my ass has a square growth on it and it's ugly. So, I take the solution given by GQ - using a money clip and a sleek card holder.

The bulky wallet

tada~ here i go...simple sleek and elegant card holder + money clip = man truly in style ; )

Another Weekend Getaway in Hatyai

2011-07-19T08:36:00.000-07:00

Just a little update (a very brief and quick one..) about my trip to Hatyai three weeks ago. Okay, here we go..

Once we checked in to our room in Hotel LeeGarden, we straight away hop on a van and headed to our destination - which are a few temples that me and JoJo are not very attracted to. In my opinion, temples are worth visiting for elder folks only as they likes to pray but definitely not a young people like me...*wink* ;)

There were people blowing up a lot of firecracker beside the temple to pray and wish for prosperity + $wealth$...when the firecracker finished up with a Loud BOOM...we can heard people shouting 'HUAT ah!!'

Alright, enough for boring temples now we were at Songkhla beach. There's nothing special here because only thing we can see is sand and sea?! haha But the seafood dinner at a restaurant in Songkhla was pretty satisfying as the dishes were delicious and resonably priced.

You must take a photo with this Mermaid statue to prove that you have actually went to Songkhla beach coz it's the only attraction there.

Well, after Songkhla beach we went to Floating market and then go for Thai girl show - which was a shockin one O_O'''....and after relaxing with thai massage at hotel room we finaly called it a day.

The next day (Sunday) itinery -> Shopping at hatyai market and get our ass back home!! Gonna work on Monday..so BLUE =(

Collectibles

2011-06-06T07:48:00.000-07:00

I went to the McDonald's for lunch to get the Green CocaCola can glass last Friday. After having the fattening LARGE MacValue meals with sugary choc sundae six weeks in a row, the green one finally marks the completion of the can glass collectibles.....and you know what? I don't even gain a tenth of a kilogram *wink* ; )

Gaga has arrived

2011-06-05T01:31:00.000-07:00

Finally I got the highly anticipated gaga's latest album - Born this Way, all thanks to my friend who bring the album all the way from Singapore to me. I'm certainly gonna keep this album rockin' my playlist through the summer!

Chaotic

2011-05-30T08:34:00.000-07:00

WTH! my car breakdown on my way to home today. Out of sudden, the engine simply died while I was still driving. But lucky enough I managed to use the remaining momentum to drive my car to the road side. I have tried to start the engine over and over again but to no avail. Okay, this is really bad now...but the good thing is at least I wasn't blocking the traffic..

Now what?! what would be the first thing to do now? Call Kurnia Auto Assist customer support...absolutely! But where the hell am I now? Don't even know how to tell the operator in order for her to locate me. Was thinking hard and no worry...I quickly activated my phone internet service and then simply locate myself using Google Maps...android smartphone rocks! hahaha =) Alright, able to explain my location precisely and what I did was waiting technician to come repair my car...

Damn the weather was still scorching even it was near evening...really thirsty while waiting coz I'm leaving the office with my bottle empty. >_<

Weekend Getaway

2011-05-08T07:56:00.000-07:00

Been to Pulau Langkawi with high school friends and had a great time there. Snorkeling at Pulau Payar for me was a nightmare initially coz I have hydro-phobia. I feel scared when my feet doesn't touch the ground. But the good thing is I manage to overcome it in the end. Even though it was a short vacation but being able to chit-chatting makan makan and jalan jalan with friends is real fun! I'm dying for another trip like this...!

Simply Irresistible

2011-04-25T08:21:00.000-07:00

Guess What!! Sushi Bonanza is BACK again. Radioactive issues?! Frankly, I don't give a damn! It's time for sushi feast anyhow~ Simply Love my stomach fully filled with the mouth-watering sushissss!!! =D

TGIF!

2011-04-23T20:02:00.000-07:00

Last friday night was Black & White spring party. This themed party was Ken's idea because he's freaking bored during every of his weekend after work. So throwing a party and chill out with friends amidst the hectic working life is such a great idea.

We've invited most of our course mates and they are required to wear only in black or white. But, unfortunately some of them find it pretty hard adhering to the dress code and turn up with pink, yellowish or peachy shirt. ..Should have FINE them for violating the dress code!!

We have tom yam steamboat and BBQ for our party, both were simply delicious

Nice group photo but it could be better if the yellow, pink and peach guy weren't ruining the color harmony.

Suprise birthday cake for Fong...Happy Birthday!

Goodbye Lullaby

2011-03-17T04:12:00.000-07:00

Being a fans is not easy. Especially when I have to buy the costly album to show support to my favorite singer. (Deluxe version is Rm 56.90). Anyway, at least when I know the album comes with a free tote bag, I eventually feel that it's worth my 50 bucks. However, when I unwrap the tote bag, I found that it's a very small one =( *Disappointed*. Avril's fourth studio album - Goodbye Lullaby, not an outstanding records but definitely not a total let down. I would say it's above average. So...if you're all fans of Avril and rich enough, go ahead and get yourself a copy of Goodbye Lullaby!

- the small tote bag -

I Quit!

2011-03-15T08:09:00.000-07:00

Guess what !? I'm leaving my current job soon. I'll start working for my prestigious new employer on next Monday! I'm so thrilled to finally get what I want. All thanks to Ms. Jac who willing to pass my resume directly to the hiring manager. Without her I might not living my dream. I feel so grateful. New environment and challenge awaiting me and I'll go all out to cope with it!

Monday Blues? Not at All!

2011-01-17T06:39:00.000-08:00

What a surprise to me.. my boss took an emergency leave today which allows me to ease myself a little at work. Anyway work still getting harder and busier than ever, but at least I can slow down a little bit on my work if he's not around =D .

Went through office hours quite easily and went for dinner at Chopper Board @ Queensbay coz HK wanna sell his insurance to randy...and sadly I'm the audience of his presentation...again! After we strolled around the mall for a while and we fianlly called it a day. Gotta go home sleep earlier and prepare for "Tuesday Blues" coz the BOSS is around tmr! >.<

Nice little brownie with ice-cream

The shy salesman and the potential client

What a day!

2011-01-13T06:20:00.000-08:00

It was wednesday morning and I'm working as usual. Started my day with headache as the failure analysis department questioning my preliminary analysis on the customer return unit. Of course as a newbie to the industry, I found myself puzzled and blurred about those technical question asked. was trying hard to struggle through the problem and trouble until the lunch break.

It was intended to have lunch at Kenny Rogers Roaster due to the Healthy Eating Day Buy1 get 1Free promotion. But my fellow colleagues and I failed to do so due to the overwhelming response of the promotion. The queue was long and we were unable to make it in just 1 and a half hrs break. Therefore, KFC becomes our second option.

Done with lunch, and continue with my headache in the afternoon. It was 530pm and I'm leaving the plant and give it a second chance for Kenny Rogers Roaster!! That was 6 of us heading to queensbay to try out luck and it turn out to be good. The staff in this restaurant are efficient and most importantly they are FAST. Even we get ourselves in a long queue, it only took abt 15-20 mins until we get our seats. Food was serving fast and I'm pleased with their service.

Alright, our stomach filled and it's time for movie. We were lucky enough to get strategic located seats as it was a movie day and the cinema is jam-packed. We've selected Meet The Parents: Little Fockers as our choice tonight and the movie was pretty hilarious and entertaining.

gosh..Jessica Alba looks smoking hot in this movie!

Was heading home right after the movie and I found my parking lot is taken buy someone. Sh*t how on earth people can be so inconsiderate and selfish. Hey if you're this as*h*le I'm talking about...I want to tell you that if you desparately need a place to park your car, just have your car parked in the visitor parking lot. Why go and take somebody else's lot. Please put your brain in use and THINK before you act. You have really cause a major inconvenience to me for being so selfish ...and last but not least I wish you the best with a F*** u!

wOW...done with my story of the day...good Night=)

2010-12-20T04:32:00.000-08:00

Have watched the movie - TRON: LEGACY last week. Even though the plot is a little bit lackluster but the CGI effect is superb. That's what I like the most. I'm totally visually satisfied by this movie. The characters ..both Sam and Quorra looks super yeng and cool. The lightcycle is very sophisticated and sleek. The Disk game is amazingly interesting. Last but not least, the music score by Daft Punk is pretty nice. I just love everything I saw in the movie. It simply makes me wanna be an user inside the grid as well...

Sam Flynn Quorra

...and the Light Cycle..cool!

So what are you waiting for? If you still haven't watch it yet, Just go get your ticket and enjoy the movie!!

p/s: Pls Don't blame me if u don't get the awesomeness of this movie like i did...peace =D

My recent life is very DULL!

Please kindly ask me out or I will be bored to death x_x

Need A Change

2010-11-20T21:10:00.000-08:00

My current mobile phone SE C510 is officially dead. I need a new mobile phone but there are so many choices out there that make it so hard to make a decision. I've been researching for some latest mobile phones in the market that meet my preferences since a month ago. Fortunately, I manage to narrow down the scope of my choices. Yet I still need opinion to come out with a final choice. So here are the few mobile phones that I prefer:

Samsung Galaxy 5

Android 2.1 | 2M pixel camera | 240x320 TFT screen | RM 699

Nokia C7

Symbian 3 | 8M pixel camera | 360x640 AMOLED screen | RM 1400

Nokia C6-01

Symbian 3 | 8M pixel camera | 360x640 AMOLED screen | RM 1200

HTC Smart

Brew Mobile | 3.2M pixel camera | 240x320 TFT screen | RM 799

TARC Convocation

2010-11-15T06:17:00.000-08:00

Last Saturday was my Advance Dip. Convocation. It was the first day I return to my college since March 2010. Well, the surrounding of tarcollege did change a little as the '2nd' new building has finished its construction, some stone chairs in the gardens were painted, and some of the walking paths were decorated with stone and pebbles.

- Class of 2010 -

Only few friends were attending convocation this time. I didn't stayed at college very long. Just take a few photos and left afterwards. However, revisting tarcollege reminds me of how worry-free and happy I could be when I was a college student. Time flies and I'm currently a working man. Realizing working life is not that easy, I feel that I need to be more independent than before to be able to manage the obstacles in my career.

I may sounds a little bit emo now while talking about jobs. So let's skip that serious talking and proceed to my visit to Fahrenheit 88. First of all, after the convocation, I eagerly went to the highly publicized UNIQLO clothing store where I end up buying nothing over there due to the overpriced menswear. Only the tees were affordable but I have lost my passion in shopping since the day I came back from UK...muaahahaha

- Fahrenheit 88 with Uniqlo -

Regarding Fahrenheit 88, I can say that it's very small and don't have much interesting shops. However, Pavilion is a total contrast to F88. Pavilion is still very exciting and interesting for me, especially the x'mas decoration which amazed me. Too bad I'm not working in KL, otherwise I will visit Pavilion very often.

I'm Employed

2010-11-13T22:35:00.000-08:00

I'm currently working at IDT as a Product/Test Engineer. This is my first ever job in my entire life. The first week in the company was very relaxing. What I've done in my first week at work was simply watch, learn and do a little bit of hands-on on testing IC. But there were simply too much to learn and remember in my first week there. I hope I can pick up my pace on the learning process so that I would be able to do my jobs smoothly and independently in coming weeks. It's a new beginning for me and I'm looking forward to find the true joy of working life...

1st Interview

2010-10-23T07:48:00.000-07:00

This is a little story about my first ever interview for a job. What to say? I may say that it was a below average performance. I can't say that I did not do my preparation a night before. I did do my revision on a few technical stuff about engineering. But what I have ignore is the detail about the company. The interviewer just keep asking me what I know about their company, their products, the job in the industry, what is my responsibility as an engineer, what do I expect from their company, How do you relate your academic results with the job you may going to get, what's the job scope of production engineer...etc. For someone who are experienced, those questions are definitely just a piece of cake. However, a newbie like me and it was a first interview...those questions are real tough for me!

I'm pretty worry abt remaining jobless until the end of the year. So I guess I simply have to step my game up for the next interview. Good luck to myself!!

I'm Home and here comes the emo feeling

2010-10-11T05:56:00.000-07:00

Four months oversea journey ended now. Once again, stepping on the ground of Malaysia, I smell... FOOD!! M'sia surely has the most diverse local delicacies and cuisine, I can't deny it. Laksa, Prawn Mee, Jawa Mee, Cendol etc. those food are simply irresistible. Now, my primary mission is aimed on those food.

The next mission is......looking for a JOB >.<

I was amazed about how time flies. The 22 years of my existence in this world has become part of the history. I am now a young energetic man...ready to go...prepared to venture into new things - the job and the future. Speaking of which, the future is quite obscure for me unless I manage overcome the only barrier in my life. I just don't have the guts. I have fear and I afraid my fear has already became a phobia, as it haunts me in my dream occasionally.

Looking for a helping hand, striving for acceptance...I guess it will turn out to be a futile attempt after all. So, no use struggling, no use being vulnerable, no use looking for sympathy. Because nobody would ever understand. Even if it does, it takes very long time...

No matter what, I just have to hang on and be strong....

I wish there's a time

where I don't need another perfect line

don't care if critics ever jump in line

and I'm gonna give all my secrets away...

72 hrs trip to Scotland

2010-08-22T15:12:00.000-07:00

I was still sick while on the trip to Scotland. I have no choice because I had paid the fees already. Having runny nose on the 1st day at Scotland and I was sneezing all the time at Edinburgh. Quite suffering at the moment but yet an interesting journey. We went to few places including Edinburgh, Inverness, Urquhart Castle, Loch Ness, Fort William, Fort Augustus, Glenfinnan Viaduct, and Glasgow.

Edinburgh: 12 hours in Edinburgh for me is quite boring but the city is simply beautiful.

Loch Ness: Loch Ness Monster !? I don't believe it at all...and I hate legend..

Fort Augustus: We went there just to see the stupid canal locks.

Glenfinna Viaduct: Stunning view...and it's the place to see the steam train that appear in a scene in Harry Potter movie.

Glasgow: Nice shopping experience there =D

p/s: been very busy recently so i have to write a very brief post.

from Whitby to Livepool

2010-08-12T16:51:00.000-07:00

Apparently I've been slacking on my posts. I realized I haven't posted since 12th July. It become almost impossible to post on a regular basis while the assignments are pilling up. However, I manage to spare a moment of leisure under the pressure of my heavy workload. It was pretty nice having my day trip to a fishing port of Whitby. Walking around, sight-seeing and chewing on the popular MagPie Fish n' Chips...what a wonderful experience I had there.

I like blue Sea.....

...Blue sky...

...and the beaches...love everything..

Standing in front of the MagPie Cafe and holding the very big portion of Fish n Chips

it's Whitby lighthouse at the back

this is Whitby abbey...please ignore the silly and a-bit-scary looking smile of mine

No doubt, shopping is another way to put the stress behind you. That's exactly the reason I went to Livepool One and Cheshire Oaks Designer Outlets to spend my money!! Trust me I'm a total shopaholic when I lose myself. Anyway, shopping in UK is a whole new experience for me, because the tempting sales is really cheap!! It's cheaper than what I normally see in Malaysia. For me, clothing stores in Msia have never had a decent sales all along. They are really not generous and kiam siap on the price reduction. I become even more puzzled about ppl calling it a 'MEGAsales' when there were sales in Msia...@_@!?!? Well, I'm pretty sure that I'm gonna miss shopping in UK once I go back to my home country.

One of the popular landmark of Liverpool - Superlambanana

As shown in picture...we were having lunch at RED HOT

OMG the Mussel in Mongolian Sauce is really really delicious...I had 10 pieces of it...I wish I could have more!!

I feel very fulfilling after shopping XD

My Cooking at Sheffield

2010-07-12T10:59:00.000-07:00

Since I landed on UK, I have to prepare my every meal for the sake of cost saving. I think that cooking is fun after I've tried to cook few dishes.

Fried Rice with Egg, Onion, Potato, and Carrot. It was a failure because the rice was sticky. Should have left the rice overnight before frying it.

Tomato and Cheese Pizza with Salad

Cheese Baked Potato - as a snack instead of proper meal

My own version of Vege Lam fan - the taste is nice!

Garlic Tomato Spaghetti with vege again...

Cheap strawberry from the market...only 1.50 pound for 2 boxes.

This is the cheap Haagen Dazs...only 2 pounds...yummy

Cambridge

2010-07-12T04:51:00.000-07:00

The forth week in UK and I was enjoying my day at the city of Cambridge which is well known as the home of one of the world's premier universities - University of Cambridge. I just realized that many colleges at the city are affiliated to University of Cambridge. I don't know about this before the tour guide told me...but frankly, I don't really care, because I believe that I would never have a chance to enter any one of these leading colleges.

Anyway, this post suppose to describe my experience at Cambridge, so let's get down to business.

What you see is the Mathematical Bridge, the myth behind this...was a genius who built this bridge without use of bolts and nuts. However, it's just a lie coz apparently I can see those black dots (I presume they were bolts) on the timber!

Despite photography was prohibited at Fitzwilliam Museum, we insisted to take our photo.

As the saying, rules are (definitely) made to be broken...!

Believe it or not!? this is where I pursue my degree!

Another Museum...this time around is Zoology kind of museum which displays a lot of animal skeleton.

Million-dollar clock. It's either a masterpiece of art or a piece of waste of money, what do you think?!

we went punting...fun!

King's College

I supposed they must be the top elites of King's College, graduate from any one of the colleges in Cambridge couldn't be easy. I wish I could be one of them.

Before heading home, I was chewing on my sticky and sweet Chelsea bun.

Manchester

2010-06-26T14:23:00.000-07:00

This is a little update about my day trip to Manchester 2 weeks ago. First of all, I went to the Old Trafford Stadium.

Almost everything I can see is in red color...of course ...it's Manchester United.

Lunch at "Burn-a-Hole-In-My-Pocket" Restaurant...hahaha

This is a beautifully carved library which I feel very "Harry Potter-ish".

Other BORING places that I went during my trip at Manchester City Center.

Sorry I have to end this post so quickly, it's late and I'm gonna go to bed now...c ya!=)

It's lunch time

2010-06-18T06:26:00.000-07:00

I have no class today thus I tried to make mashed potatoes as lunch for the first time. Been watchin some of the easy recipe on Utube, and I ended up with a very tasty mashed patatoes!

Steps:

1. Chop potatoes into smaller cube and boiled in water for 15-20 minutes

2. Pour out the hot water and mash the potatoes.

3. Add in butter, little salt and some milk and mix it.

4. Done! the potatoes can be serve with brown sauce dressing.

By the way, the brown sauce I bought was very sour for me but the mashed potatoes itself was delicious!

Shopping at Meadowhall

2010-06-13T13:54:00.001-07:00

Today is sunday and I went shopping with friends at Meadowhall shopping centre. I get myself a pair of simple white sneaker at Debenhams. It's only £7...love! Lots of men's and women's wear at Primark is cheap as well...I'll definitely go back to buy some shirts when I have to! =)

2010-06-11T14:41:00.000-07:00

Finally, I'm having rice as my dinner for the first time since I reached UK...I miss Malaysian foods!! =(

I'm Far Away From My Home!

2010-06-09T10:13:00.000-07:00

I'm currently in Sheffield,UK, pursuing my degree while i'm still recovering. This is the updates of first few days of my life in Sheffield.

First of all, this is my room which located at Victoria Hall.

Yes, my bed is larger than the others coz I'm living in the master room!

the very long study desk, which allow me to make as much mess as I wanted.

Next, the room's door, bathroom, and the wardrobe...

The view outside my room's window...not a very nice view though =(

Sheffield Train Station which located nearby Sheffield Hallam University

Bunch of siao kia having their break during the Enrollment day

A very modern and creative fountain can be found in front of the train station.

of course this is me, was touching the icy cold water of the fountain.

what were they talking abt?!

Okay, was having enough fun for 3 days. It's time to getting more serious and start our study.

Lab session on last Tuesday...reviewing some syntax of C++ programming.

Forgot to bring my lunch for the first day to class. Bought a £ 1.70 sandwich from the cafe >.<

BORING lecture!

My lunch! Sorry for the geli looking of my salad lunch, but don't judge a book by it's cover, it tastes fine! =)

TO BE CONTINUE.......

Hong Kong

2010-03-20T00:35:00.000-07:00

I had a wonderful time at Hong Kong. Hong Kong is one of the best place for vacation indeed. For my five days vacation with coursemates in H.K., we went to a number of tourist attractions as listed below:

7 March 2010

女人街|Ladies'Market
We were finding our way to this market right after we check in to Casa Hotel at night.This market is located at Tung Choi Street, selling most of the women bags, accessories and inexpensive women's/men's clothing. However, most of them are pirated goods of famous brand.

8 March 2010

黃大仙祠|Wong Tai Sin Temple
Wong Tai Sin Temple is one of the most famous temple in H.K. There was so crowded and a lot of smoke. Eventually, my tears came out due to intense smoke from those burnt joss sticks. Better make a wish quickly and leave this temple asap...XD

赤柱市场|Stanley Market
Perfect place to buy some special souvenir for your friends or relatives. This place is nothing but an old fishing village. Pretty boring...yawn..

中环|Central
our original plan is going up to The Peak by bus. But it was a road accident happening somewhere on the way to the tram station. So what we can do is to walking around Central to enjoy the city view. Of course, the city is more advanced-looking than that in Kuala Lumpur.

蘭桂坊|Lan Kwai Fong
A well-known street with bars, clubs and restaurants. Very suitable place for people to enjoy their nightlife.

庙街|Temple Street Night Market
It’s another market almost similar to Ladies market. Nothing much I can say.

9 March 2010

天坛大佛|Giant Buddha
It’s a big big carved stone Buddha which nearby Lantau Peak. We have to ride on cable car in order to get there. It was extremely cold there (5 ~ 6 C) I supposed, and my finger can barely move.

东荟城名店仓|Citygate Outlets
This is a mall featured with many brand names that offering up to 70% year-round discount, which is ideal place for shopping.

星光大道|Avenue of Stars
Something similar to Hollywood Walk of Fame. There were plenty of plaques on the floor which contain hand prints and autographs of the stars set in cement. This avenue is also a popular viewing place for A Symphony of Light show.

波鞋街|Fa Yuen Street
My favourite street definitely! This street have quite a lot of shops selling sport items at affordable price, mostly branded sports shoes including nike, addidas, converse, puma, k-swiss, lacoste…u name it!

10 March 2010

迪士尼乐园|Disneyland
What a Magical experience I had in Disneyland! You simply have to visit Disneyland by urself, there is plenty of adventure and excitement awaiting you. Don’t miss the Disney In the Stars at night, it is a breathtaking fireworks display that surely impress you.

11 March 2010

海洋公园|Ocean Park
Not recommend for senior citizen because you have to walk or hike from once place to another. This park is a so-so for me. Quite dizzy and boring while visiting this park.

杜莎夫人蜡像馆|Madame Tussauds’ Wax Museum
My comment is a lot of celebrity ready for you to ‘molest’….LOL

凌霄阁摩天台|Sky Terrace
The dazing HK city night view amazed me and reminded me of how far our very own Kuala Lumpur left behind.

Fifth Reunion

2010-02-17T08:35:00.000-08:00

Roar! this is the start of golden Tiger year. I wish everybody have a prosperous and wonderful chinese new year and Gong xi fa cai.

Like what we have done each year since 2006, the class gathering for this tiger year is successfully being held. Thanks to Kang (the pretty organizer) for putting her efforts in order for this reunion to be carried out. We celebrate our 5th reunion with a lot of fun indeed.

All lengzai and lenglui gather at Autocity Seoul Garden, catching up with each other while having the delicious dinner. Of course! there was a lot of camwhore and 'camgigolo' doing their thing also. My favourite photo is the sexy-hot-teacher-wannabe, ms.Nicole with the stick on her hand and the geeky spec.

Now this group of photos is all about the duo. Who makes the best photo of perfect duo!? I suppose it would be the photo of Eric try to poke Shirley boobies using fork...lol

the big group pic of the day...all of us 27 ppl plus 4 extra illegal foreigner....err... I think it should be 4 guests ...xD

few more pics of the day...including the photo of Kang busy jotting down who had paid for their meal already...

here we hv blurry collection....blur but still looking great...hehe

After our dinner at Seoul Garden, we was chilling out at Dream...but my mood is being slightly interrupted by my fren who threw up on my pants. We all got up to the dance floor and begin to enjoy ourselves...but it's really tiring and eventualy I feel like I dance like a moron...>_< haha...
anyway...it was surely a good good night but a bit hilarious...=D

Dimsum Redbox Woohoo Chilis

2010-02-06T05:46:00.000-08:00

It's been almost a week since I came back to hometown. As what I have expected, staying at hometown really makes me start rotting. So, I really need to go out with frens to have some fun and...I did...

We went to dimsum opposite KDU to have our breakfast and there's where I realize that I forgot to bring my wallet. of course I rushed back to my home to get back my wallet because I feel insecure hanging out without my license and IC..

our next stop is Redbox...as we belting out our favourite hits for about 3 hours I found that my throat feel a bit sore. After redbox, we went for the local movie 'Tiger Woohoo!'...it was funny, but not as funny as what others had told me.

Finally, we have our dinner and discuss abt HK trip at Chilis, camwhore for a while at gurney drive before heading home.
